In the latest addition to the video series, Tom reports that mixed-bag groups do better work than those made up of experts.
You can watch the video (2 minutes, 55 seconds) or download a transcript: Diversity Wins.
Before blogging became all the rage, Tom was posting book reviews and Observations (essentially early blog posts) to this site. You can find the archives below.

Excellent!
I just want to say how much I am enjoying these videos - the passion, ideas etc. A real vitamin tablet!
I am lucky at the moment in one of my projects has a very diverse team - great fun and sometimes a challenge to tune into the different cultures around the world.
I actually didn't find any of this counter intuitive - but then I tend to find normality a little counter intuitive...........

I'm thinking we need to get this level of diversity into Congress. Rather than a two party system that produces two ways of thinking, we need independent thinkers that can solve problems.
Great write-up Tom. Thanks for sharing.

Love the "Big D" and "little d" aspects of diversity. You're seeing a a lot of both during these crazy NCAA March Madness basketball games - a big reason why the games have been so exciting to watch! There were 11 different conferences represented in the Sweet 16. Big schools, small schools, freshmen stars, senior role players, blacks, whites, Catholics, Protestants, Muslims and so much more which have led to amazing upsets and super ratings.
